Teynham is a village and civil parish in the borough of Swale, in the county of Kent in England. It sits on the North Kent plain between Sittingbourne and Faversham, with good road and rail links to nearby towns, which gives it a quietly rural but well-connected character.
Historically the area is known for its fruit-growing and orchards - with a 17th‑century reputation for early glasshouse cultivation of exotic fruits - and you can still see the agricultural imprint alongside a handful of historic buildings and a medieval parish church. Today Teynham feels like a traditional village community with local clubs and businesses, while many residents commute to larger towns or London for work.
